Port Fencing allows you to protect your SAN from repeated operational problems experienced by
ports. Use Port Fencing to set threshold limits for the number of specific port events permitted
during a given time period on the selected object. For default threshold values for Fabric OS
devices, refer to Chapter 7 of the Fabric Watch Administrator's Guide.
1. Select Monitor > Fabric Watch > Port Fencing.
The Port Fencing dialog box displays ( Figure 383 ).
FIGURE 382 Port Fencing dialog box
The Port Fencing dialog box contains the following field and components:
• Violation Type list — The name of the ISL, Link, or Security threshold currently active on this
port. If the object does not support Port Fencing, this field displays “# No Fencing Support
#”. This field displays as inactive (grayed-out) when the object is only partially managed by
the management application.
(ISL Threshold only) If the port type is E_port, the ISL Threshold name displays in a bold
font to indicate when the threshold is currently active on the port type.
